Helen Flanagan has shared an important conversation she found herself having with her daughter at home after asking her: "Do you look like mamma?" The former Coronation Street star is a doting mum to her three children - Matilda, eight, Delilah, five, and two-year-old Charlie.
Bury-born Helen, who is famed for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, shares her three children with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair. Helen and footballer Scott, 34, split last July before she confirmed the end of their engagement and relationship back in April. But the former couple continue to co-parent their three children.
Taking to Instagram, Helen, 32, shared a video to her Instagram Story of her holding onto Delilah in the kitchen of their Lancahsre home. "Do you look like mamma?" Helen was heard asking the five-year-old who initially shyly said "Yeah" to which her mum, dressed in a pink tracksuit top, replied: "Yeah, you look like mamma."

But Delilah then said: "No, I've not got white skin," to which Helen laughed in surprise at her daughter's response. "You've got beautiful tanned skin," she added. But when Delilah said: "No," and shook her head, Helen doubled down and replied: "You have, you've got beautiful tanned skin," before the pair broke into sweet giggles.
Helen has since returned to social media alongside another of her children as she made a vow. The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here and I'm A Celebrity... South Africa contestant posted a string of images of herself and toddler Charlie to her Instagram grid.
It showed the mother and son posing up a storm in their family home. In the first image, Helen, who was sporting a black crop top and skinny grey leggings, put up a peace sign with her hands as her son copied. They were then seen laughing about their matching appearance before they shared a sweet kiss.
"Going to bring you up so beautiful," Helent typed alongside the post to her one million followers. It comes after Helen continued to share honest updates about life solo parenting as a doting mum-of-three. And she stuck to being honest when she admitted that one of her latest treats for her eldest daughter, Matilda, has gotten her into trouble at school.
Helen had to enlist the urgent help of her hairdresser after one of her daughters was told to remove some colourful hair braids by her school. However, she was left documenting the removal process on her Instagram and tagged her hairstylist Kelvin Barron who helped her with the task of undoing them all.
"So the braids didn't go down too well at school," she explained in the video posted to her Instagram Story. Kevin then chimed in: "What a time to be alive!" as Helen giggled at the error. Helen then told her 1M followers: "So me and Kelvin have to do every single braid so she can go to school tomorrow." Her pal then playfully jibed: "Mother of the year," after which Helen turned to him and let out a laugh while gripping the strands of coloured hair.
As she uploaded the confessional clips to her page, she typed a caption that read: "It was the colour they didn’t like at school maybe summer holidays [sic]."
